Definitions
- the present invention relates to a pin, for fixing a piece to a supporting wall, comprising an expansion body, which is tubular for receiving a screw for fixing the piece and, around the body, an expandable tubular sleeve made from a plastically deformable material, one end of which is provided with a stop collar and the other end of which is arranged, under the action of the driving of the body in rotation in one direction with respect to the sleeve, with the pin extending through an orifice made in the wall with the sleeve collar bearing against the front face of the wall, to interact with an end part of the body, to be driven towards the collar and to bring about the expansion of the sleeve and its squashing against the rear face of the wall and thus the fixing of the pin to the wall, the expansion body having, at the opposite end to the end part which interacts with the sleeve, a collar designed to come to bear against the one on the sleeve.
- the fixing of piece to relatively thin supporting material is carried out in a particular way, not by anchoring in the body of the material, but through the rear of the material, that is to say on the opposite side to the one which supports the piece.
- the present invention aims therefore to improve a pin of the type mentioned above, in order to make easier and speed up its fixing and also to allow it to be fixed in a solid material, even if its primary application remains the fixing of parts to hollow materials.
- the present invention therefore relates to a pin of the type mentioned above, characterized in that the end of body, to interact with the sleeve for its expansion and squashing, is provided with a piercing bit.
- a screwdriver With a single tool, a screwdriver, if the piercing is effected by rotation of the pin body and the interaction between the body and the sleeve is effected by threading-tapping, and in a single step, a hole is pierced by the piercing end of the body surrounded by the sleeve and, immediately afterwards, the sleeve undergoes an expansion and squashing against the supporting wall.
- the piece to be fixed is placed against the collar of the body and, using the same tool, a fixing screw is screwed through the piece and into the body of the pin.
- document US-A-4 617 692 teaches also a pin, or more exactly a sleeve, provided with a piercing bit. But this bit is mounted screwed on a threaded shaft of which the object is only the expansion of the sleeve and which has no function by its fixing, since it is taken away thereafter. Moreover, and after expansion, the bit is detached. There was thus no reason to apply the teaching of this document to provide a piercing bit at the end of the body of the pin of document WO-A-9005855.
- a piercing end piece is fitted, preferably detachably, to the piercing end of the body of the pin.
- An end piece mounted detachably on the piercing end of the pin body can then be driven out of it, which allows the fixing of the piece by means of a screw even though longer than the body and piece to be fixed combined.
- the piercing end piece is a piece which has been cropped, preferably bevelled, from a piece of sheet metal. It can be ribbed.
- the overall transverse dimension of the end piece is also preferable for the overall transverse dimension of the end piece to be slightly greater than that of the body, in order to prevent the sleeve, before its use, during storage and handling, from becoming disconnected from the pin body, or even greater than that of the end of the sleeve interacting with the body, to avoid, during fixing, the sleeve sticking in the hole pierced by the end piece and being expanded prematurely.
- the piercing bit is a cutting insert arranged to be received in an insert support arranged to be mounted at the piercing end of the pin body.
- the pin has been originally transformed in a tool-holder, with, as a tool, the cutting insert.
- the interest of this embodiment is to adapt the cutting insert to the nature of the material of the supporting wall. For instance, for a hard material, an insert made of tungsten carbide shall be adopted whereas for a rather soft material, an insert molded in a light metal alloy or even in plastic material should be suitable.
- the applicant wants also to claim the pin, without cutting insert, on the one hand, as well as the insert support, per se, on the other hand.
- the invention also relates to a pin of the above mentioned type, characterized in that the end of the body, to interact with the sleeve for its expansion and squashing, is provided with a cutting insert support.
- the invention still relates to an insert support arranged for being mounted at an end of an expanding body of a pin, to interact with a tubular sleeve disposed around the pin body, for fixing a piece to a supporting wall, the sleeve being made from a plastically deformable material, one of its ends being provided with a bearing collar and its other end being arranged, under the action of the driving of the body in rotation in one direction with respect to the sleeve, with the pin extending through an orifice made in the wall with the sleeve collar bearing against the front face of the wall, to interact with an end part of the body, to be driven towards the collar and to bring about the expansion of the sleeve and its squashing against the rear face of the wall and thus the fixing of the pin to the wall, the expansion body having, at the opposite end to the end part which interacts with the sleeve, a collar designed to come to bear against the one on the sleeve.
- the pin body prefferably threaded and for the end of the sleeve opposite and its collar to be tapped to form a nut on the body, the threading and tapping being advantageously of the type with a so-called buttress thread.
- the pin body can have an internal bore with a cruciform cross section, extending from one end to the other, allowing it, at the end provided with the collar, to be rotated by a screwdriver and, at the piercing end, allowing the end piece to be mounted by the insertion of a bit shank into two opposite arms of the cruciform bore.
- Such a bore shape also affords the fixing screw four anchoring points.
- the said means for preventing the rotation of the body comprise, on the body, ribs shouldered on one side and, in the sleeve, grooves for receiving the ribs.
- FIG. 1 is a view in perspective of the first embodiment of the pin during assembly, before storage or use;
- FIG. 2 is a view in perspective of the pin of FIG. 1, once assembled
- FIG. 3 is a view in axial section of the pin of FIG. 1 before expansion
- FIG. 4 is a view in perspective of the pin of FIG. 1, after fixing;
- FIG. 5 is a view in perspective of the expandable sleeve of the pin of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 6 is a side view of the body of the pin of FIG. 1, alone, with anti-rotation ribs and buttress thread;
- FIG. 7 is a view in cross section of the pin body, along the line 7--7 in FIG. 6;
- FIG. 8 is a view in perspective of the insert support, with the insert, of the second embodiment of the pin of invention.
- FIG. 9 is a view in perspective of the second embodiment of pin of the invention, with its insert support and its insert and
- FIG. 10 is an exploded view, partially in section, of the insert support end of the insert of the pin of FIG. 9.
- the pin which will now be described with reference to FIGS. 1-7 is particularly designed to fix a piece 50 to a thin supporting wall, such as one constructed from a hollow brick 1 (FIGS. 3 and 4).
- the pin has three components: a driving body 2, an expandable sleeve 3 and a piercing bit 4.
- this is a self-drilling pin; it could however also be used without its piercing bit.
- the pin body 2 is tubular. It has, over a large part of its length, practically from the end 5 designed to receive the piercing bit 4, an external thread 8.
- the other end 6 of the body is provided with a stop collar 7.
- the body has an internal bore 9 with a cruciform cross section, extending from the stop collar 7 to the piercing end 5. Close to the stop collar 7, the internal bore 9 can for example be of the "Phillips" or "Posidrive" type.
- the expandable sleeve 3 is also tubular so as to be disposed around the body 2.
- it is made from plastic material.
- One of its ends 10 has an internal tapping 11, .to interact with the thread 8 on the pin body and to form a nut on the body, the other end 20 of the sleeve being provided with a stop collar 12, against which the collar 7 on the pin body is designed to bear.
- the side wall of the sleeve 3 is provided with slots 13 to make it flexible.
- the sleeve 3 is provided, on its external wall, in this case against the collar 12, with anti-rotation fins 18.
- the piercing bit 4 is a piece cropped from a piece of sheet metal, in the form of a triangular piercing tip 14 extended by a shank 15 to be inserted into two opposite arms of the cruciform bore 9 in the end part 5 of the body 2, thus referred to as the piercing end.
- the converging edges 16, 17 of the tip 4 are cut in a bevel 30 and spread apart by a distance, corresponding to its overall transverse dimension, which is slightly greater than the external diameter of the end portion 10 of the sleeve 3.
- the pin is assembled by fitting, by screwing, the sleeve 3, by means of its end with the collar 12, onto the pin body 2, until the collar 12 comes up against the collar 7 on the body, and then by inserting the bit 4 with light force, by means of the shank 15, into the bore in the end piercing portion 5 of the body, the bit thus being mounted detachably at this piercing end 5.
- a piece is secured by means of the pin as follows.
- the body 2 is rotated and, with it, the bit 4 with cutting edges 16, 17, which thus pierces a hole in the wall of the material, in this case a brick for receiving the piece to be fixed.
- the sleeve 3 has been shown diagrammatically, without its slots for giving flexibility which have been distorted. It then suffices to place the piece to be secured against the collar 7 of the body 2 and, using the same screwdriver, to screw a fixing screw 51 through the piece to be fixed and the bore 9 of the pin body 2 which the screw taps effectively since, in a transverse plane, it is bearing against four points.
- the slots for making it flexible may not be necessary.
- the body 2 of the pin has a buttress thread 8 designed to interact with a corresponding buttress tapping on the sleeve.
- the advantage of such a configuration is to limit the radial component of the screwing force and therefore the radial expansion of the nut part of the sleeve which could be prejudicial to fixing.
- the body 2 of the pin also has, adjacent to its stop collar 7, antirotation ribs 40 running parallel to the axis 41 of the body. These ribs 40 are intended to engage in grooves 42 provided, from its collar, in the sleeve (FIG. 1) and prevent any unscrewing of the body 2 in the sleeve should the piece fixing screw be unscrewed in the body.
- the ribs 40 have, on one side, a slope 43, which does not prevent the screwing of the body in the sleeve, without for all that bringing about the expansion of the sleeve, and, on the other side, a shoulder 44 to come up against a corresponding groove wall 42 in the sleeve and prevent any unscrewing of the body.
- the pin of FIG. 9, its piercing parts excluded, is identical to the pin of the other figures. Its driving body and its expandable sleeve are identical. Only the piercing means are different, a bit, in the first case, an insert support and a cutting insert, in the second case. Under these conditions, same elements shall be referenced by same numbers.
- the pin body 2 whose piercing end 5 appears on FIG. 9, receives an insert support 64.
- the support 64 has a fitting shank 65, having a parallelepipedic general shape, and slightly beveled (66) to make fitting into the end part of the inner bore of the pin body 2 easier.
- the end portion of the inner bore of the body 2 could eventually be shaped roughly in correspondance.
- the shank 65 is extended by two lips 67, 68 which are parallel and form therebetween a groove 69 for receiving an insert.
- the lips 67, 68 are in the form of a triangular tip. Internally, they include, each, a pair of grooves 70, 71 for receiving insert ribs in order to assure centering and holding of the insert.
- the cutting insert 72 has a shape complementary to that of lips 67, 68 of the insert support 64.
- the cutting insert 72 comprises, on each side, a pair of ribs 73, 74 to cooperate with the corresponding grooves 70, 71 of the lips 67, 68 of the support.
- an insert made of tungsten carbide should be chosen.
- an insert molded in a light metal alloy or even in plastics could be chosen.
- the pin of FIG. 9 shall be for sale, all assembled, but it should not be excluded to ship it, either naked, without insert support nor insert, or, preferably, only provided with its insert support, thus as a tool-holder, the end user having just to adapt thereon the suitable insert.
